Answer:

The constant term is 240. A constant term represents a fixed value. In other words, a term that does not change.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the polynomial expression given, the first and second terms are dependent of x, which means whatever the value x is, the terms will change. For example, if x = 2, we have -7(4) + 32(2) + 240. As you can see the constant never changes because it does not rely on a variable; it is constant.

Line A: y=-1/2x+3

sashaice [31]

A) For the equation $y=- \frac{1}{2}x+3$ , the slope is $- \frac{1}{2}$ .
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is the y-intercept. This means that if $m=- \frac{1}{2}$ , the slope is $- \frac{1}{2}$ .

B) Since this equation is in the same form, you just find what m is equal to.
Since $m=2$ , that's the slope.

For the solution, set $y=- \frac{1}{2}x+3$ equal to $y=2x-4$ , so it would be put together like this:
$y=[tex]- \frac{1}{2}x+3=2x-4\\ -\frac{1}{2}=2x-7\\ 1\frac{1}{2}x=-7\\ x=-4.66667$
So your answer is -4.667.

The blue string is 0.98 meters long. The

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

22 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

1. See how many centimeters are in a meter:

There is 100 centimeters in one meter

2. Multiply each number by 100 to convert the meters to centimeters 

0.98 x 100= 98

0.76 x 100 = 76

3. Subtract to find the difference

98 - 76 = 22

Hence, the blue string is 22 centimeters longer than the yellow string.

have great night! :D

How do I show work for 5- (a-4) = 3 (a+2)

TEA [102]

Here is how I would show the work for this problem

5- (a-4) = 3 (a+2)
5-a+4 = 3*a+3*2
5-a+4 = 3a+6
-a+9 = 3a+6
-a+9+a = 3a+6+a
9 = 4a+6
9-6 = 4a+6-6
3 = 4a
4a = 3
4a/4 = 3/4
a = 3/4

So the solution is the fraction a = 3/4 (in decimal form 0.75)

Let me know if you have any questions or issues with any of the steps shown above. It's a lot to take in so feel free to ask about anything really.
